Get Your Hair Back After COVID or Pattern Baldness: Revitalizing Hair Growth With Microneedling
Have you been obsessively counting the strands of hair left on your comb after every grooming session? Or perhaps, staring helplessly at the mirror, witnessing the slow, but sure retreat of your hairline? There's good news headed your way.
The news is: microneedling for hair growth. This innovative technique is making waves in the world of hair treatment, and the science backs it up! 🎉
Microneedling, traditionally used for skin rejuvenation, has found its way into the realm of hair rejuvenation treatments. The results are promising. But how does it work, you ask? Let's dive in together!
The Magic Behind Microneedling
Studies on microneedling for hair loss investigate the treatment, which creates tiny punctures in the scalp. These micro-injuries stimulate the body's natural wound-healing processes, resulting in increased collagen production and enhanced blood flow to the scalp.
This process is theorized to awaken dormant hair follicles, encouraging them to spring back into action, and the results bear out the theory.
Like all our favorite treatments (and people), microneedling plays well with others. Studies have found that microneedling works best with other modalities such as PRP (platelet-rich plasma) treatments or the proprietary stem cell growth factors and cytokines we use.
Microneedling and Pattern Baldness
Now, if you're someone battling the relentless forces of pattern baldness, this next bit of information is for you.
Pilot studies have found microneedling to be a "safe and promising tool" in hair stimulation for people with Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA), a common form of pattern baldness. It works well for both men and women, helping everyone to regain the locks they loved.
Microneedling: A Ray of Hope Amidst COVID-Related Hair Loss
The global pandemic has not only taken a toll on our health but also on our hair. One of COVID's vicious traits is its ability to affect unexpected systems in the body. It's led a lot of people to experience hair loss related to COVID.
Also not good for people's hair volume? Stress. Good thing, the pandemic didn't bring us any of that...
Preliminary studies have shown microneedling's potential to promote new hair regrowth even in patients with hair loss triggered by COVID who failed to respond to conventional therapy.
